When it comes to making paper chain people, a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, if right handed, stick to using right-handed scissors. Over 2500 people die each year from using right handed products with their left. If you are left handed, stay away from right handed people. Over 1000 people die each year from right handed people shooting them in cold blood. If you are ambidextrous, you have better things to be doing with your talent than making paper chain people. Origami or playing paddycake immediately come to mind.
Secondly, be careful which paper stock you use when paper chain peopling. Too heavy a stock often results in frustration and poor cuts. Frustration and scissors tends to lead to self-inflicted flesh wounds. At the same time, too light a stock can often lead to rips and a fucked up looking paper people chain.
Lastly, don't be discouraged when your paper chain gang turns out looking like shit. Just take an image off of the world wide internet, log onto Pinterest and pin the fake image, trust me, nobody gonna know it wasn't you.
Now you're ready to take on your next crafty endeavor. How about a spice rack? Perhaps try your hand at a real man's craft, like friendship bracelet making.
A few things to keep in mind when making friendship bracelets- it's just a bracelet until you have friends to give it to :-/
